The MP-600 is a pleasant surprise for good players looking for a driver to complement Mizunos irons
|

While Mizuno’s forged irons are regarded as the industry standard, the company’s
drivers have enjoyed less widespread appeal. The manufacturer hopes to change
that by taking the “Fast Track,” a moveable-weight system in the MP-600 driver
that allows players to quickly adjust the club’s settings to one of 15
ball-flight options.
 As testers tinkered with the weight using the tool that
stores in the headcover, the ball-flight changes were subtle. Regardless of
setting, the club tested well, with low spin rates. “Even with the weights in
the neutral settings,” says a 5, “I had no trouble hitting my bread-and-butter
power fade. But I also hit a couple of hooks on demand as well, which was a
pleasant surprise.”
MSRP: $480 (three lofts, 8.5–10.5
degrees)
